High School... the place of social status, gossip, and DEATH
My Summary:
Every school has the classic lineup right? Of course they do, because what would high school be without it. We know what circles they run in, but do we actually KNOW who they are? Everyone has secrets...
The Brain: Bronwyn
The Beauty: Addy
The Athlete: Cooper
The Criminal: Nate
The Outcast: Simon
All five (5) of these students knew exactly who each other was, by label that is, but one weird incident brings them all together.
They go into detention as five, but only four (4) make it out alive. Simon died that day after school in front of them, yet it wasn't an accident. It was deemed a murder. Each student is claiming innocent, but which one of them is lying?
Simon was more than just an average outcast. He was the creator of Bayview High School's gossip app 'About That', which posted nothing but facts about every student featured. It's no secret Simon ruined lives with his app, and that many wouldn't mind to see him go. Questions remain though...
Which one did it? Was it a pair? Was it the whole group?
They all make perfect suspects, outside of them being the last in the room with Simon. Apparently, he was planning to release a big expose about each 4 of the other students. It effectively would've ruined their lives, so the police are working day and night and pulling no punches. Since they are all seniors, they're ready to be tried as adults.
My thoughts:
This book was a complete page turner to the end! It takes you through all of their different perspectives through the course of this investigation. Some of the supportive cast characters even intrigued me with their reactions, which makes the story even more realistic. Nothing about this was a simpleminded conclusion, because the title of the book is constantly on your mind...
"One of us is lying"The best way to describe this book is that it's a mix of Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Breakfast Club. MUST READ!!!
Catch y'all is the comments and on the next post!!
I may have to read it now! You know GG was my show. PLL lost me after a while but it had a good run! ❤️
